Let’s go through each problem one by one. We’re turning improper fractions into mixed numbers. An improper fraction is when the top number (numerator) is bigger than the bottom number (denominator). A mixed number has a whole number and a fraction.
To convert:
- Divide the numerator by the denominator.
- The answer (quotient) is the whole number.
- The remainder becomes the new numerator.
- The denominator stays the same.
Let’s solve each:

1) Already done:
9 ÷ 4 = 2 with remainder 1 →
2 1/4
---
2) 10/3
10 ÷ 3 = 3 with remainder 1 →
3 1/3
---
3) 5/2
5 ÷ 2 = 2 with remainder 1 →
2 1/2
---
4) 15/4
15 ÷ 4 = 3 with remainder 3 →
3 3/4
---
5) 12/5
12 ÷ 5 = 2 with remainder 2 →
2 2/5
---
6) 11/6
11 ÷ 6 = 1 with remainder 5 →
1 5/6
---
7) 12/7
12 ÷ 7 = 1 with remainder 5 →
1 5/7
---
8) 8/2
8 ÷ 2 = 4 with remainder 0 →
4 (no fraction part)
---
9) 13/6
13 ÷ 6 = 2 with remainder 1 →
2 1/6
---
10) 19/8
19 ÷ 8 = 2 with remainder 3 →
2 3/8
---
11) 13/9
13 ÷ 9 = 1 with remainder 4 →
1 4/9
---
